again, i'm saying he did not write the tweet yelling at Annoying Orange for firing comey, bernie has only said that first part himself. the circumstances have changed, though, because nobody would say anything if he was fired with nothing going on, but the fact of the matter is he waited until comey started investigating him to fire him.
more videoI also love how you lefties act as though the investigation is over because Comey got fired (it isn't) and that you trusted Comey to honestly handle that case when he basically handed Annoying Orange the White House in your eyes withhis handling of Clinton
it's YOUR idea of what healthcare should be, not everyone's gonna agree with that.
I stated objective fact
there is nothing opinionated there
your healthcare does not cover other people, it covers yourself, and so you register for it yourself
the overwhelming majority of americans remained adamantly against entering world war 2, but were completely fine with profiting off of it until we were attacked by japan.
how cruel
we should have just left Europe crash and burn under national socialist rule
that's not what i said, but it doesn't surprise me that you would dismiss it as jargon in order to simplify it and ignore it.
if you can't clearly articulate your argument then it isn't a strong argument
ah yes, the great american middle class. totally not getting actively forgeted over by the top 1% of income earners or anything like that.
you took the argument out of the 50s, which was what we're talking about, and transported it to the present day, which is irrelevant, to counter my point
so I'm guessing you agree with me that they got a good deal at the time?
i think you're operating on a fundamentally flawed view of how this would work. The point of socialism is that everybody gets adequate resources, resources that would be proportionally allocated depending on the field you work in. scientists would receive the resources necessary to innovate, but it would be the resources that they need. there wouldn't be any janitors being given scientific equipment, because it would be given to the scientists. if that janitor went to college and became a scientist, though, he would then have access to these resources along with every other scientist.
okay
who decides those brackets? you? do "climate change deniers" and people who disagree with your worldview get the same amount of resources as those who do?
who allocates the resources? how can we assure that they don't take more for themselves than give to the people who you say deserve it?
most importantly, what if the people want to be rewarded for their hard work over people who do jack stuff?
not even sure what you're saying here tbh
you're insinuating that every single person that has a forgetton of money (or just the people in the 1%) earned it through inheritance and not through hard work and innovation, which is the case with
most people
doesn't matter how "fun" reverse engineering is,
my point was that it was a legitimate job that was generally enjoyable across the field but okay
it literally wouldn't be necessary (and you wouldnt have to pay people to do it) if the innovative knowledge was made public from the get-go.
you would also have a lot less engineering jobs
so much for workers
to give a recent and relatively simple example, consider Battlefield 1. people liked the idea of a WW1 game, so it made a lot of money. call of duty, who had been falling behind in sales due to them chasing the market trend of futuristic shooters, then started work on call of duty WW2, because they saw how well BF1 sold. Battlefield 1's release shifted the video game shooter market to be more profitable for world war shooters. now as for the unreleased part of it, battlefield 1 could have been released at any time. while it is still unreleased, they have the power to, at any given moment, change the market. maybe i wasn't specific enough, though. i kinda meant that it's moreso the controlled release of products at the time it is most advantageous to the company, and that waiting to release them whenever they want gives them a degree of control.
they couldn't "release the game at any time" because they need to release a functioning game that's fun, and they need to have the idea of making a ww1 game
they saw the oversaturated futuristic shooter market and took a risk to do something different, they weren't sitting in their Dr. Strangelove war room, twiddling their thumbs and cackling that they were going to "control the market" which, BTW, trends != controlling the market, because anyone can start a trend and by that notion "control" could be toppled immediately
nobody is a constant trendsetter
and what exactly is your definition of a "working" economy? you would certainly have a tough time explaining how well our economy works to the 50 million americans below the poverty line, people who have been completely forgeted over by this economy. the economy certainly didn't "work" in their favor, did it?
I'd take an economy with people who work hard that win out in the end with some casualties over one where not everyone works, then everyone gets the same stuff, then everyone gets sick and dies
which you didn't address BTW
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmthere's a massive difference in what can be considered a "mixed economy" from both sides. america is considered a "mixed economy" despite not even guaranteeing healthcare to its citizens, and countries like sweden are, according to you, considered a "mixed economy" despite being noticeably more socialist.
well I mean if you want to talk Sweden then it's noteworthy to say that the founder of IKEA left Sweden because of the insanely high taxes they have
uh.. society? these CEOs are also apart of this society, so when they help society it helps them in return
you just described capitalism
the workers? people need some kind of job while they're receiving a higher education, and that's not to mention all the people who would rather just work as a laborer rather than go to college.
so what you're saying is that it ISN'T possible for everyone to be a CEO at the same time?
good god
fake news
yeah I don't want it but is it too high HA NO LOLanyways how was your day guys
pretty ho-hum, I don't have finals anymore so I'm just sitting around doing nothing
